I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd and that's all what he'll do it just ejects and the session is over
Hi Barbara,
You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.

Original title: problems with Media Player
When I try to play a VIDEO DVD, I get the following message: Windows Media Player has stopped working.
Another problem that I have is all the time (which is usually) I click on a new Web site I get "cannot display this page".
Microsoft has just downloaded Internet Explorer 11. I don't know if the problems are related. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Zest2learn. Because I had the problem, Microsoft has uploaded a number of updates.
I think that one of these updates solve the problem.

After backup files and restoring Windows XP, I can't open the files backed up.
After backup files and restoring Windows XP, I can't open the files backed up. The files are password on a user account. I know the password. But the message received when you try to open them is: access is denied. Drag / drop the files in 'Shared files' result in the same message. I know that the files exist, because when I open backup and browse for them, they are displayed. Is there a method to open? I have Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 update. I tried to back up the files with backup of backup, but it does not work.

I don't know how to stop this message, I would appreciate it if you would help me.
This error seems to be a very old mistake of Java associated with Vista. I don't know why you should get it now with Windows 7.
Start by going here to ensure that you have the latest version of Java and have removed all previous versions--> http://java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp
If this does not help, remove all versions of Java--> http://java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml
Restart the computer and then download and install the latest version.

Very slow to open or delete messages in Thunderbird. Compacting folders, emptied the files Junk and trash, no improvement. Just improved 38.4.0 (about 3 hours ago)
If you have not changed anything except thunderbird update, then it is probably caused by antivirus software. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Memory_Usage_Problems

7 Firefox is very slow to opening pages as compared Web o firefox6
Compared to firefox6, this version, ff ver # 7.0.1 is very slow to open Web pages. It takes a long time to display the Web page. I tried to disable add ons and did everything I could, but it seems that there is a no solution.
One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

El capitan 10.11.3 very slow to open anything.
I just 'upgraded' from 10.7.5 to 10.11.3.
This slowed my MacBook Pro (2010) by doing anything.
I had TO update because I bought an iPhone 6 and she needed a newer version of iTunes.
Now, the MacBook is very slow to open anything - 'pages' 'number' ' safari - and Web sites. Strangely, once in a website, it's normal, he's going from page to page as fast as before.
Can anyone help please?
As you have made the leap from an older operating system by, is it old software that requires an update to function properly.
Also, you have enough RAM, the specifications for El Capitan said 2Gbs but 4Gbs is more realistic and of course more IS more.
You have applications that start at the start of Mac, maybe you don't need them running.
Anti Virus and 'cleaning up' apps are not necessary.
You can download this small http://etrecheck.com/ application that checks your system and then paste the report here
then folk can take a look and perhaps draw some conclusions as to why it is slow.
